the technology created the potential. folks in government have to figure out how to open to door, sometimes you do need a big key and you need to figure out some tough combinations of the locks, but if you can just make those changes, the invest will power into the new opportunity. >> host: we're talking with former fcc chairman reed hundt and broadband plan director, blair levin, how technology can fix the budget. one of the examples you put in your book is what is happening right now in kansas city with google. are you supportive of that project? how did that project play into the politics of abundance. ... >> we will have to have faster and cheaper broadband we want to be at the forefront of the next generations innovations. >> host: what is your job? >> guest: i work at the acton institute, but i also work on projects projects. google did a great thing for this country when they said that they would like to apply to us. and then 1100 communities apply. that doesn't mean that all the citizens need the great innovations

we're seeing more application of technology as opposed to new technology being innovated. >> yeah. i think on some level it's a fair criticism. my own firm dates back to the success of carnegie steel and one of the founders of carnegie steel essentially founded our group to invest in additional innovative companies. and back then the development of steel manufacturing at scale enabled the creation of all sorts of things from metal which was fundamental and i suppose on some level we don't see that today. on the other hand, there are many sort of scientific or technical breakthroughs that contribute to applications as people learn to use them over time. facebook as an example isn't particularly technically innovative but it le regs all the computing power and data storage capability that had evolved from a number of scientific break throughs overtime. so i think it's fair to say that, you know, applications are less obviously innovative than a fundamental breakthrough but just as important. >> tom: give us an idea of an industry you think is poised for some of that breakthrough inno

it was a destination point to see the new world technology. when charles dickens visited us in 1840, he was truly blown away by high water pressure on the fourth floor of the hotel he was staying in. nowhere in europe had he experienced that. this technology was doing something to support the life and the growth of the city. philadelphia, throughout the 19th century, was the major industrial city of the united states. all of these industries used water from this system. and it served as a prototype for many american cities, including pittsburgh and new york. man: new york city went to philadelphia and said, "you know, we're thinking of developing a hudson river water supply -- what do you suggest we do?" and they said, "we've had "a lot of problems on the schuylkill. "don't go to the hudson river. go to the upland and work by gravity." and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york ci

this wastewater processing and reuse technology is cutting edge. and although it's been successfully implemented in other cities, it will be one of the first such installations in an urban office building. >> here is a city agency that treats wastewater, but they send no wastewater to the treatment facility. that says a lot. >> it's got a 12 gallon per day occupancy using 5,000 gallons per day with a building officing 1,000 people. that turns out to save over 2.7 million gallons a year. >> the public utilities commission runs water, power and sewer services for san francisco. we can't afford to be out of business after an earthquake. so, we're thinking about building a building. that building is going to hold our operations center and our emergency operations center for things like earth quack. that building had to be immediately occupiable. great. but we can do better than that. so, this new technology that we ended up using was a concrete building that straps basically, that goes through the interior of the building and allow the building to turn
